[QUOTE="jvr, post: 621861, member: 15634"] You are skating on thin ice...take it from me who raised similar observations before ;) That being said, I suggest that you play FLAC and ALAC files via the same signal path (if you can). Also rip a song in AIFF and then convert the same song into the other 2 formats (ALAC & FLAC) and have a listen to all three formats. You are already questioning what is generally regarded as fact, i.e. that all 0's & 1's in any lossless (compressed or not) format played from any digital source and transported via any medium through the same DAC SHOULD sound the same...but do they..? And now I am :-X it. [/QUOTE]
